User reviews
"The beach in Cassis is incredibly stunning and tends to be less crowded compared to other beaches. However, it's important to note that the parking area is quite small and can only accommodate around 10-15 cars."

"The beach is quite rocky, so it's important to be able to walk safely on your own. There are a few areas with sand, but they are quite limited. Overall, it's a cool spot."
